Marie Hare, of Strathadam, New Brunswick, sings a fine version of the ballad to a different, and quite satisfying tune. I recorded her singing it back in 1962. You know how it is when you know a song to one tune, then hear it sung to another? Well, the Bonnie Dobson version always sound just plain wrong to me, yet that's the tune most people, these days, associate with the ballad. Caroline (that's my wife) still chooses to sing it to Marie's melody. |
